Well yeah, but that's not really a bad thing. I think learning a language is good, regardless of whether you actually have a use for it.
Learning things is good. It's also good that schools still teach things like that, it's great that kids have the opportunity to learn a second language, especially if they're anglophones, since those tend to live in a bubble. Even learning Latin is good, it makes you think about grammar and language itself in ways you wouldn't otherwise. The way capitalist education is headed they might not teach these things for very long, since they're "useless".
